Bush tax cuts DO favor the very rich enormously, particularly the estate tax cuts and the dividend tax cuts. You cannot argue about that. John Kerry is for a nice big one-time tax cut now the for consumers and small businesses to get the economy going and to create jobs right away. Bush's plan does not do that. It's not stimulative at all, just Voodoo Ecomonomics, the old trickle down variety, and it's a huge budget buster. If the Bushies dont like "class warfare" they shouldn't fight for big breaks for the very rich and big corporations. Those millionaires and billionaires dont need it and many of them dont even want it. Besides, someone has to pay for these Bush wars? Why not give the middleclassa break? They already get socked everytime the government withholds from their paychecks. The rich have write-offs galore. They usually pay LESS than the average factory worker, percentage-wise. The rich have it easy already in the US. Why does Bush fight for them so hard? And why did middleclass Bushies tolerate it? Can't they see it's bad for them and worse for the economy? Trickle-down voodoo economics does not work. Particularly in this consumer-sapped environment.
